Great, it's working. The only thing that was required was: SET(CPACK_DEBIAN_PACKAGE_MAINTAINER "David Doria")
Here is the working example: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake/CPack/Examples/Linux/DEB The page you sent (http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/CMake:CPackPackageGenerators#DEB_.28UNIX_only.29) has a lot of variables marked "mandatory", but they all seem to have reasonable defaults except the MAINTAINER. Could this terminology be modified? Also, (I think) there are some typos that I don't feel confident correcting myself: if CPACK_DEBIAN_PACKAGE_VERSION is not set CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION -> If CPACK_DEBIAN_PACKAGE_VERSION is not set, it will default to CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION if CPACK_DEBIAN_PACKAGE_NAME is not set, CPACK_PACKAGE_NAME (lower case) will be used I strongly suggest that we create http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake/CPack/Examples/Linux/RPM http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake/CPack/Examples/Linux/TAR http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake/CPack/Examples/Windows/EXE (or whatever it is called) etc. so that it is very clear (one can copy/paste a solution) how to do this. Thanks for the help!
